Countdown Timer for Magento 2
v4.0.4Magento 2 Countdown Timer helps e-commerce stores to drive sales effectively by adding extra countdown clocks to special products or offers. It brings effectiveness for stores and enhance shopping experience significantly.
Problems
The way to display discounts is not attractive. In Magento 2 Default, when a product is discounted, the way to display the prices is so simple with just two numbers of discounted price and original price. Therefore, it does not attract customers’ attention or even that they do not know they have missed the discounted products. As a consequence, the conversion rate is very low and the store’s sales campaign becomes ineffective and unsuccessful.
Unable to show the remaining time of discount to customers. Even customers see that there are special products on sales at the store, they do not how long the sales lasts. As a result, they would like to consider more and come back later. The final result can be that either when they come back the sales has ended or they forget totally about the sales after leaving the store site. It shows that online stores can miss the potential customers easily if they do not have the suitable solution to solve this problem.
